Frage 4 Bericht
Malnutrition has been described as a tragedy of great magnitude. WHO (World Health Organisation) declares that it is an accomplice in at least half of the 10.4 million child deaths each year. Malnutrition covers a wide range of illness from under-nourishment due to a lack of one or more nutrients such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies to obesity and other diet-related chronic diseases. However, Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is by far the lethal form of malnutrition. Malnutrition is not restricted to children. It casts long shadows in the developing world according to WHO.
Industrialized countries are not free from the scourge of malnutrition as about 11 million people suffer from it. Malnutrition is caused by a deficiency in the intake of nutrients by the cells of the body and it is usually triggered by a combination of factors, an insufficient intake of proteins, calories, vitamins and minerals and frequent infections. Illnesses such as diarrhea, measles, malaria, and respiratory diseases that the body heavily and cause loss of nutrients. They reduce appetite and food intake thus contributing to malnutrition.
Children are at a greater risk of suffering malnutrition. This is because they are in a period of rapid growth that increases the demand for calories and proteins. For Similar reasons pregnant and nursing women are easily prone to malnutrition.
Frequently the baby’s problem begins even before birth. If a mother is undernourished or malnourished before and during pregnancy, the baby will have low weight. Then early weaning, poor feeding habits and lack of hygiene can bring malnutrition. Malnutrition wreaks havoc on the body particularly that of a child and various studies have shown that poor growth in the child is associated with impaired mental development and poor scholastic and intellectual performance. A report from united state calls these effects the most serious long term results of malnutrition. For children who survived malnutrition the aftermath can linger on into adulthood.
What, according to the passage is the most lethal form of malnutrition?Antwortdetails
According to the passage, the most lethal form of malnutrition is Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM). It is a type of malnutrition caused by a lack of proteins and calories, which leads to various health problems and can be fatal.

Frage 13 Bericht
From the options, choose the word(s) that best fill(s) the gap.
Toyosi arrived late, _____ the right route.
Antwortdetails
The best word to fill the gap is "could not have taken." Explanation: The sentence implies that Toyosi arrived late because they did not take the right route. The phrase "could not have taken" in the past participle form is used to suggest that it was impossible for Toyosi to take the correct route, leading to their lateness. Option "cannot have taken" uses the wrong verb form, as "cannot" is present tense and the sentence is in the past tense. Option "could not have take" uses the wrong past participle form of the verb "take." Option "could not had taken" uses the wrong word order, as the auxiliary verb "had" should come before the main verb "taken." Therefore, the correct option is "could not have taken."
Frage 14 Bericht
Choose the option that best fills the gap.
For taking part in the unsuccessful _____, the mutineers were court-martialed.
Antwortdetails
The correct option to fill the gap is "coup." The sentence is referring to a group of people who participated in an unsuccessful coup, which is a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government or other authority. Because the coup was unsuccessful, the participants were charged with a crime and put on trial in a military court, which is known as a court-martial. The other options are not suitable to fill the gap. "Coope" is not a word in the English language, "copes" means to deal with or handle a difficult situation, and "coupe" refers to a car with a fixed roof and two doors.
Frage 15 Bericht
Choose the option that best completes the sentence.
He did not attend the final burial_______.
Antwortdetails
The sentence is asking for the correct word to complete the sentence. The correct option to complete the sentence is "rites" (option C). A "rite" is a religious or solemn ceremony, and a "final burial rite" is a traditional ceremony that takes place after someone has passed away. In this case, the person did not attend the "final burial rites," which means that he was not present during the traditional ceremony that took place after the person's death. On the other hand, the word "right" (option D) refers to a moral or legal entitlement to have or do something. This word does not fit in the sentence because it does not relate to a traditional ceremony that takes place after someone has passed away. The word "rite" (option A) is spelled correctly but does not fit in the context of the sentence because it is singular, and we need the plural form of the word. Similarly, the word "rights" (option B) is also spelled correctly, but it does not fit in the context of the sentence. Therefore, the correct option to complete the sentence is "rites" (option C).
Frage 16 Bericht
From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that rhymes with the given word.
Cause
Antwortdetails
The word that rhymes with "cause" is "pause" (option B). The two words have the same vowel sound and the same ending sound (-awz), which makes them rhyme. The word "course" (option A) also has the same ending sound, but it has a different vowel sound, so it does not rhyme with "cause." The word "purse" (option D) has a different ending sound (-urs), so it does not rhyme with "cause" either. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, "pause."
Frage 17 Bericht
This question is from the novel 'The Last Days at Forcados High school'.
‘I could hear his voice from a distance, rowdy and full of fun as usual,’ to whom were these words said to and who said it.
Antwortdetails
Based on the given information, it is most likely that "Nene Ekpo to Ansa," is the correct answer. The phrase "I could hear his voice from a distance, rowdy and full of fun as usual" suggests that the speaker (Nene Ekpo) is describing someone else's voice to someone else (Ansa). The use of "his" also implies that the person being described is male. Additionally, the fact that the speaker describes the voice as "rowdy and full of fun as usual" suggests that they are familiar with this person and their behavior. Nene Ekpo and Ansa are both characters in the novel "The Last Days at Forcados High School," so it is plausible that they would be speaking to each other about someone they both know.

Mrs Godwin _____ in this school since 2001.
Antwortdetails

The present perfect continuous tense "has been teaching" is used to describe such actions. Option "taught" is in the past tense and would not convey the ongoing nature of the action. Option "was teaching" is also in the past continuous tense and would not convey the ongoing nature of the action. Option "teaches" is in the simple present tense and would not convey the duration of the action, which has been ongoing since 2001. Therefore, the correct option is "has been teaching."

Choose the option that best fills the gap.
The trader complained that he _____ robbed.
Antwortdetails
The correct option to fill the gap is "had been."
The sentence is in the past tense, and the action of the robbery was completed before the time of the statement. Therefore, the past perfect tense "had been" is the most appropriate choice to indicate that the robbery occurred at some point in the past and was already finished by the time the trader made the statement.
The other options are not suitable to fill the gap. "Has been" and "is being" are both in the present tense and do not reflect the past event of the robbery. "Was being" is in the past continuous tense, which implies that the robbery was ongoing at a specific time in the past, rather than being a completed action.

Frage 41 Bericht
Choose the option that best fills the gap.
He missed the point because he took the statement _____.
Antwortdetails
The correct option to fill the gap is "literally". When someone misses the point because they take a statement "literally", it means they are interpreting the statement exactly as it is stated, without taking into account any figurative or implied meanings. This can lead to a misunderstanding of the intended message, because sometimes what is being said is not meant to be taken strictly at face value. For example, if someone says "I'm dying of thirst", they don't actually mean that they are literally dying, but rather that they are very thirsty. If someone takes that statement literally, they might react in a way that is inappropriate or not helpful, such as calling an ambulance. In general, it's important to understand the context and intended meaning behind a statement, rather than just taking it literally, in order to fully grasp what is being communicated.
Frage 42 Bericht
From the options, choose the word(s) that best fill(s) the gap.
It was a funny episode, I _____.
Antwortdetails
The best option to fill the blank is "couldn't help laughing". This is because "help" is a verb that can be followed by a gerund (the -ing form of a verb) but not by an infinitive (the to form of a verb). Therefore, option A "can't help to laugh" and option D "couldn't help to laugh" are both grammatically incorrect. Between options B "couldn't help laugh" and C "couldn't help laughing", option C is the correct one because the verb "laugh" should be in the -ing form since it functions as a noun in this sentence. So, the correct sentence is "It was a funny episode, I couldn't help laughing." which means that the person laughed involuntarily because of the humorous situation.
Frage 43 Bericht
From the options, choose the word(s) that best fill(s) the gap.
If the armed robbers _____ caught, they would have been lynched.
Antwortdetails
The word that best fills the gap is "had been." "Had been" is the past perfect tense, which is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. In this sentence, the action of the armed robbers being caught is the first action, and the second action is them being lynched. The past perfect tense emphasizes that the first action was completed before the second action occurred. Therefore, the correct sentence is: "If the armed robbers had been caught, they would have been lynched."

Frage 45 Bericht
Choose the option that best fills the gap.
The choice to go is _____.
Antwortdetails
The correct option to fill the gap is "yours". Explanation: The sentence is asking about someone's decision to go somewhere, and the word in the blank should be a possessive pronoun. "Yours" is the correct form of the possessive pronoun "your" to use in this context. "Your's" and " your" are incorrect forms of the possessive pronoun. "Your's" is not a valid form of the word "your", and " your" is missing the apostrophe that indicates possession. "Yours'" is also incorrect because "yours" already indicates possession, and adding an apostrophe after "s" is redundant.

Frage 53 Bericht
Malnutrition has been described as a tragedy of great magnitude. WHO (World Health Organisation) declares that it is an accomplice in at least half of the 10.4 million child deaths each year. Malnutrition covers a wide range of illness from under-nourishment due to a lack of one or more nutrients such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies to obesity and other diet-related chronic diseases. However, Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is by far the lethal form of malnutrition. Malnutrition is not restricted to children. It casts long shadows in the developing world according to WHO.
Industrialized countries are not free from the scourge of malnutrition as about 11 million people suffer from it. Malnutrition is caused by a deficiency in the intake of nutrients by the cells of the body and it is usually triggered by a combination of factors, an insufficient intake of proteins, calories, vitamins and minerals and frequent infections. Illnesses such as diarrhea, measles, malaria, and respiratory diseases that the body heavily and cause loss of nutrients. They reduce appetite and food intake thus contributing to malnutrition.
Children are at a greater risk of suffering malnutrition. This is because they are in a period of rapid growth that increases the demand for calories and proteins. For Similar reasons pregnant and nursing women are easily prone to malnutrition.
Frequently the baby’s problem begins even before birth. If a mother is undernourished or malnourished before and during pregnancy, the baby will have low weight. Then early weaning, poor feeding habits and lack of hygiene can bring malnutrition. Malnutrition wreaks havoc on the body particularly that of a child and various studies have shown that poor growth in the child is associated with impaired mental development and poor scholastic and intellectual performance. A report from united state calls these effects the most serious long term results of malnutrition. For children who survived malnutrition the aftermath can linger on into adulthood.
